Travel to Warhammer 40K with Grey Wind

"Very good." Grey Wind nodded in agreement and said, "In addition to the news of Wagner's death, there is also a request from Robert Guilliman."

"What request?" Russell asked.

"Although the ether giant Jörmungandr has been eliminated, the Tyranid War is far from over. Based on various signs, Guilliman determines that more hive fleets will invade the galaxy in the future, and the empire's military strength gap It’s getting bigger.”

Grey Wind counted on his fingers and said, "Terra is still out of contact. The Solar Segmentum is surrounded by countless greenskins. Guilliman intends to organize a fleet to personally attack the Solar Segmentum to relieve Terra, but he is worried that if he takes the main fleet away, the Zerg will invade again."

"So what does he mean?"

"Guilliman hopes that our insect-killing fleet stationed in the Parmenio system can cooperate with the remaining defenders of Ultramar after he leaves to jointly defend against the next wave of Tyranid invasion," Gray Wind said. .

Russell was stunned for a moment, "We have a fleet stationed in Parmenio?"

"Yes." Gray Wind nodded, "There are 8000 battleships alone."

"Ah this..."

In the end, Russell did not choose to recall the fleet stationed in Parmenio to join the war in the miniature galaxy, but instead gave the right to use the fleet to Guilliman to arrange it on his own - I believe this will give Guilliman a headache for a while, because there is not even a single crew member among these thousands of warships.

Russell continued to devote his energy to the war in the central star field of the miniature galaxy.

As the battle line advanced, the resistance encountered by the Federation Navy during the invasion became increasingly tougher. Powerful star bases of the "Optimus Prime" class began to appear frequently. These armed fortresses equipped with ultra-long-range strike weapons would often respond before the Federation Navy's fleet entered the corresponding galaxy's gravity well range, and quickly launch beyond-visual-range strikes on the Federation's fleet.

The Federation Navy, accustomed to fighting the short-armed and slow-moving Eldar and Necrons fleets, suffered heavy damage in its first encounter with the core defense forces of Party C. Destroying each Skyfort required a huge price ranging from a few to a dozen main battleships. This was the first time that the morale of the Federation soldiers, who were used to fighting generational wars, dropped.

If the morale of the army is quantified into something like war exhaustion, the war exhaustion of my group of people must have skyrocketed now... This is what Russell originally thought.

But later it was proved that the sacrifice of several dozen warships did not dampen the army's enthusiasm for fighting at all. The morale, which had been briefly low, quickly recovered at an incredible speed, even higher than when there was a big tailwind in the early stage. The federal soldiers did not show any fear under the threat of death, but fought more bravely. This inexplicable fighting spirit made Huifeng a little confused for a while.

It was not until later that Russell finally figured out where the particularly high fighting spirit of these tough men in the fleet came from.

——Because the enemies we are directly at war with are synthetic humans produced by the warring party C.

The deformed system of the out-of-control robot servants severely stimulated the PTSD of the Iron Man Rebellion of the human beings in this universe. The decadent and decadent appearance of the organic furnishings raised by the synthetic robot servants in the ideal city made them feel deeply afraid, and after the fear came the overwhelming anger. Therefore, things like war weariness did not exist at all. Even if there was only one person left alive in the fleet, he would never retreat even a step in the war with the Iron Man. The extreme thoughts and resolute actions made Russell exclaimed, "What a guy."

After the tragic losses in the early stage, the Federation Navy gradually became familiar with fighting enemies with equal or higher technological levels. The time required to capture the Skyfort and the loss of warships were reduced, and the sharply rising battle loss ratio began to ease. However, as the battle line got closer to the center of the miniature galaxy, the strength of the enemy they encountered also increased exponentially. Battlecruisers equipped with mass-destructive weapons such as focused arcs and tachyon lances began to appear in clusters, and Titan ships were also towed out of the ancient shipyard.

The soft flesh on the periphery of the miniature galaxy has been chewed, and now comes the really tough bones.

When the vanguard fleet under Russell's personal command broke through the dense firepower network woven by the Sky Castle and the battle patrol formation, and broke into a galaxy called 'Tesrus Focus', something unexpected appeared on the deep space sensor. within the detection range, attracting the attention of everyone in the fleet.

After identifying the identity of the building, even Russell and Gray Wind couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

It was a giant man-made structure orbiting in the ring belt of a gas giant planet, as big as an asteroid, with four pairs of independent auxiliary wings hanging from the huge core structure, and data and light spots flowing between the grooves of the precise mechanical structure. The operation of the singularity reactor at the hub center caused a strange gravitational distortion phenomenon, pulling the magnificent star ring of the gas giant planet below the orbit crooked.

This is not a space military facility because it is not equipped with any form of anti-ship weapons. However, senior officers of the Federation Navy are no strangers to the appearance and structure of this building, because the Order of Truth has also been preparing to build a giant structure similar to it in recent years:

This is a - 'science hub'.

Chapter 368 Negative Time Key

The Science Hub is a giant structure specially designed for scientific research. The most advanced singularity reactor provides the highest quality energy supply. The 4 pairs of external auxiliary wings are divided into multiple different blocked areas and strictly isolated. The comprehensive and sophisticated facilities can meet all the scientific research needs of a super-light civilization.

In short, this is a super-large research laboratory with ultra-high integration.

The Order of Truth has recently been preparing to build a science hub to meet the needs of a large number of increasingly crazy scholars and scientists. However, the project site has not yet been finalized, and the plan to build a science hub was interrupted by Russell's order. , the human federation began to attack the miniature galaxy with all its strength.

"I didn't expect to encounter a ready-made scientific hub in the miniature galaxy." Gray Feng said with some surprise.

"Strange..." Russell was more confused than surprised.

"What's wrong?" Gray Wind bent down and hugged his shoulders, then put his lips close to Russell's ear and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"The existence of this scientific hub itself is strange enough." As Russell spoke, Grey Wind manipulated the vanguard fleet to avoid the long-range sniper fire of the Skyforge in front. The large friendly forces in the rear quickly followed and used Gauss cannons and mass projectors to engage in a firefight with the astonishing number of defense fleets in the galaxy.

The defense force in the "Teslus Focus" galaxy is very powerful. There are 12 plasma turrets capable of beyond-visual-range sniping around the Fortress, and there are 4 Titan ships capable of firing Inferno Rays. There are also endless destroyers and battlecruisers of various modifications.

This is a huge defense force that is completely disproportionate to the conditions of the galaxy.

Gray Feng stood up straight, spread his hands to both sides, and displayed the holographic projection of the Tesla Focus Galaxy in front of Russell.

The Telsrus focal system is a single star system with a stable climate. There are a total of 7 planets orbiting the central star, 3 of which are lifeless rocky bodies, 2 beautiful Gaia planets are located in the habitable zone, and there is 1 urban planet located in the inner orbit of the galaxy, which is completely controlled by synths.

Not long ago, the Federation Navy paid huge casualties and captured a developed galaxy with 2 urban planets, 2 industrial planets, and 5 resource planets. However, even in that level of developed galaxy, the size of the system's defense fleet is less than half of that here.

"The large number of defense fleets in the Tesrus Focus System are prepared to defend the scientific hub, and the strangest point is here." Russell said:

"Warrior C was trapped on the home planet by the Angel of Peace and had nowhere else to go, so they created the Miniature Galaxy and moved all the inhabitants to this small universe to recuperate. It is impossible for the scientific community of Warrior C to create the Ideal City and the Star Base at the same time when they created the small universe. So, in other words, all the facilities here were built after they entered the Miniature Galaxy."

"It is not difficult to understand that it is necessary to transform the planet Gaia for the quality of life. It is also normal to build a prosperous ideal city, but this scientific hub..."

Russell frowned. Why does warring party C want to build a science hub here?

Even though he shrunk into a miniature galaxy, the warring party Bing did not give up academic research. Did he continue to advance in science and technology?

But if they really had such unyielding fighting spirit, why would the descendants of the warring party Bing be so decadent and taken care of by out-of-control servitors?

"What did they build the scientific hub - the highest-level research laboratory in the stars - to study?" Huge doubts and strong curiosity occupied Russell's heart.

Looking up, the sea of ​​flames and plasma has filled the space between the battleships. Arcs flash frequently, and the turbines of the mass projectors continue to tremble. The Federation Navy and the defense fleet of Tesrus Focus are engaged in a head-on battle.

Russell ordered the naval fleet to control the front line, preferring to bear losses themselves rather than let the aftermath of the battle reach the scientific hub. He then personally led a team of Shadow Banshees on a "Breakthrough" class light cruiser to forcibly break through the powerful firepower network of the Tesrus defense fleet and rushed to the orbit of the only gas giant planet in the galaxy.

Immediately afterwards, Russell personally led the team to board the Science Hub.

Naturally, they would not use such brutal means as boarding torpedoes to board the scientific hub. Russell directly teleported 666 fully armed Shadow Banshees and Grey Wind's two sub-processes into the hub.

There are four auxiliary wings in the science hub, which are four independent and closed experimental areas. Russell came to the No. 4 auxiliary wing at this time.

Surprisingly, this scientific hub is still working and is not abandoned. However, the people working inside are no longer scientists from the warring parties, but synthetic humans created by them.

The experimental areas here are so numerous and complex that one can even get lost. Every time they enter an experimental area, the Banshee team will quickly clear out the security system in the area, and use the short spears in their hands to silently pierce the throats of the synthetic guards they encounter along the way, leaving only a few synthetics. The researchers were kept alive so that Gray Wind could invade their brain memory components and read the memory data.

After repeating this several times, Gray Feng felt it was time to stop.

"The memories of these synthetics have no value. All the content in their memories is just trying to crack the secret lock left by the warring scientists in the scientific hub and browse the banned research data," Hui Feng said helplessly. said.

Russell suddenly became interested: "If you put it like this, I will be more curious about what the warring party Bing was studying back then."

After repeating the same method in several experimental areas, still without any results, Russell had no choice but to take Grey Wind and the Banshee Squad out of Auxiliary Wing 1 and directly invade the core area of ​​the Science Hub, the main data processing center located above the singularity reactor.

This is a black sphere imprisoned by a magnetic field and suspended in mid-air. It has a diameter of about 33 meters. The surface of the sphere is covered with a large number of dense lines similar to tree branches, flashing a faint blue glow.

Generation after generation of synthetic researchers have been trying to crack the firewall and access the top-secret information locked at the bottom of the database by the scientists of Party C, but so far no success has been achieved.

"Gray Wind, can you try to break the firewall left behind by Party C?" Russell asked, looking up at the huge black sphere.

Gray Wind inserted a finger on the surface of the black sphere and shook his head. "No, this database is locked by the 'negative time key'. Its lock status changes every moment. The correct password is generated after it is entered... It can be basically understood that there is no correct password."

But Gray Wind changed the subject and said, "But the efforts made by the synths over a long period of time were not completely fruitless. They bypassed the negative time key and stole some fragmented information fragments from the database."

As he spoke, Huifeng spread out a string of intermittent text messages in the palm of his hand and showed it to Russell.

It was a series of meaningless and undecipherable messy bytes, without a complete sentence or accurate meaning. The inexplicable words were mixed together, more like the gibberish of a mental patient than precious data blocked by scientists.

Among a lot of meaningless broken words, only a few words can be managed to sort out the coherent meaning.

One of the words means: Infinite Divine Machine.

Write a joke for everyone to enjoy.

"First Captain of the Sons of Horus, Lord of the Black Legion, Chosen by the Four Gods, Great Reaver...one is stronger than the other, and each has a higher status and title. These are the status and titles that I, the Warmaster of Chaos, once had. Prestige.”

"My name is Ezekiel Abaddon. The strongest man alive."

"Since receiving the blessings from the gods, my strength and spiritual energy have continued to grow in me. As for my divine power, only a Horus from ten thousand years ago can compare with me... Comparable? Huh. Maybe now my The strength has far surpassed that of my genetic ancestor."

"And to ensure that I always have this invincible power, I will do whatever is 'necessary' by any means possible."

No!!! The unbreakable defense I built is so solid, why, why do you, my loving father, take back the blessing you gave me..."

Chapter 369 Maulius makes a fool of himself

Chapter 369 Maulius Gosa

The far east end - the Great Ultramar star field - the Darnak system.

Guilliman's original plan was to use the political faction headed by Wagner as a sacrifice to demonstrate his sincerity and persuade the Tyranids to send troops to jointly resist the threat of the Tyranids...but he never expected that the other party would directly hand over the command of a huge fleet of over ten thousand people to him. This directly solved the urgent problem of Ultramar's current lack of military strength, but it also brought a lot of troubles to Guilliman.

Because only after actually handling it can we find out that there is actually a problem with the Star Destroyer fleet, and it is a big problem.

First of all, not even one of the tens of thousands of combat ships is equipped with the 'Geller Field' used to stabilize reality. Once such an unprotected ship sails in subspace, it will be a pure disaster. Chaos demons deliver rations.

...However, it seems that the ships of the Star Destroyer do not need to travel through subspace. They must either jump or use the star gate network. Their reliance on the Geller force field is indeed not as great as that of the Imperial ships.

Secondly, the Star-Bullet and the Order of Truth he founded seemed to completely ignore the lessons of the Iron Man Rebellion, and did not consider the risk of shipboard AI being corrupted by Chaos. They used a large number of dangerous artificial intelligence operating systems in large-scale mechanical facilities at the starship level. Although the intelligence of these AIs is not yet as great as the "hateful intelligence" with self-thinking ability, that is, the level of strong artificial intelligence, it is far beyond the tolerance of the imperial law.

For this reason, Guilliman had to obtain the consent of the Convent of Truth and send people to dismantle and ban all the artificial intelligence programs on board the fleet, and replace them with the Empire's traditional Cogito Array as the carrier for the operation of the battleship system. The wetware of the Cogito Array is generally taken from the living brains of Imperial slaves or Mechanicus clones, and after special processing, it is connected to the system for use as a computer.

I don't believe in iron and stone, I only believe in blood and flesh. This motto, which is said to have been uttered by the Emperor of Man himself, was perfectly embodied at this time.

While the Mechanicus under his command was refitting the cogitator array on the huge fleet that he had picked up, Guilliman began to prepare an expeditionary army to Terra. Terra has been out of contact for too long under the siege of the greenskins. If the light of the Star Torch hadn't been shining all the time, Guilliman would have even thought that the human throne world had fallen under the tracks of the aliens.

Recalling the Horus Heresy ten thousand years ago, Guilliman was heartbroken. He understood that it was because of his indecision that the loyal side missed the best opportunity to defeat the rebels. The 25 Ultramarines, a huge force that no one could ignore, squatted in Ultramar for a whole game, allowing Horus to rush into Terra and smash Sanguinius into pieces. Angel-chan knocked the Emperor half-paralyzed again.

Every time he thought of his loss, Guilliman couldn't help but feel sad. But this time it's different.

"This time, I will have no reservations. Even if Starbomber is a traitor, even if Ultramar is destroyed after I leave, I will never look back at my hometown. ... This time, I will never miss the opportunity to save Terra again..." Guilliman clenched his fists, his heart was on fire.

While the expeditionary fleet was preparing for battle on Terra, Guilliman decided to seize the time to deal with a more pressing matter.

On this day, a sky blue transport plane carrying Guilliman himself and his Primarch Guards left the atmosphere of Danak Prime and began to fly to the hideous and ugly mechanical planet hovering in the orbit of the hive city.

It was the war moon of the green-skinned orcs, which had remained in the skies of Darnak Prime since the end of the war against the ethereal worms.

Regarding this group of green-skinned orcs who offer blood sacrifices to the God-Emperor at every turn, frequently demand their heads to offer golden thrones, and claim to be Ultramarines, there are two views in Ultramar: one is to kill them all, and the other is to destroy them all. Find out what happened to them and kill them all.

Guilliman belonged to the second type, so Caul did not further explode the War Moon after sniping the ether giant worm.

Guilliman's transport plane to the War Moon this time was also in response to an invitation from the other party's extraordinarily stout greenskin war leader. Yes, the greenskins even had etiquette and etiquette, and also invited the original body to join him for a diplomatic meeting. , this is something that all extreme warriors have never thought of.

After stepping onto the hot steel surface of the Battle Moon, Guilliman led his fully armed Primarch Guards vigilantly but politely to an open-air venue that had obviously been cleared in advance and took their seats. This was Guilliman's special request. He did not trust this group of rough orcs from the bottom of his heart, so he was prepared to deal with sudden and unwarranted attacks from the beginning.

In an open-air meeting, Guilliman met with Maurius Gosar, the ruler of the battle moon.
